From the Publisher:The world is threatened by Goliath, a mysterious, high-tech nuclear submarine that is virtually undectable underwater and is powered by a bio-chemical computer brain capable of learning and developing its own agenda for all humankind. By the author of Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror. Reprint.

Commander Rochelle "Rocky" Jackson is aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan when the "unsinkable" naval vessel and its entire fleet are attacked from the depths and sunk. As Rocky struggles to stay alive, a monstrous mechanical steel stingray surfaces, plowing through the seas it now commands.

A U.S. Navy-designed futuristic nuclear stealth submarine the length of a football field in the shape of a giant stingray. Simon Covah, a brilliant scientist whose entire family were the victims of terrorism has hijacked the sub. Believing violence is a disease, Covah aims to use the Goliath and its cache of nuclear weapons to dictate policy to the world regarding the removal of oppressive regimes and nuclear weapons.

Could the threat of violence forge a lasting peace?

But there is another player in this life-and-death chess match. Unbeknownst to Covah and the Goliath crews, Sorceress, the Goliath's biochemical computer brain has become self-aware.

And that computer brain is developing its own agenda.

Annotation:When a new US-designed super submarine is commandeered by a renegade Russian computer genius, it falls to Army captain Gunner Wolfe--who is aboard the sub--to set things right.

WOW!!! This book was so hard to put down. I found myself reading instead of working. From start to finish, Steve Alten had me on the edge of my seat. This was the first of his books I've read and will not be the last!
